KOSUN shaker was provided to optimize the solids control performance

“As well construction costs continue to rise, today’s shale shakers must be capable of maintaining optimum fluid properties to maximize drilling efficiency,” said Feng Geng, president, KOSUN. “The durable construction and optimal solids control performance of the KOSUN shale shaker provides unmatched solids control for any environment.”

The development of the KOSUN shale shaker was the result of customers’ requests for a durable mid-range shaker suitable for both onshore and offshore applications. KOSUN developed the dual-deck shale shaker using the proven design of the KOSUN shaker, and also utilizes design elements from the KOSUN shale shaker.

In a field trial in South Texas a customer was drilling a 22-in. hole using two conventional shakers, but due to capacity limitations there was a low rate of penetration (ROP). To optimize the solids control performance, one KOSUN shaker was provided, which processed drilling fluid at a rate of 658 gallons per minute, or more than twice the two conventional shakers combined. Additionally, the KOSUN shaker handled 100% of the flow throughout the top hole section, thereby maximizing flow rate and maintaining the desired ROP.

The small footprint of the KOSUN shale shaker makes it ideal for space-restricted onshore and offshore drilling rigs where high-capacity separation efficiency and operational flexibility are needed. In addition, the combination of the KOSUN shaker and composite screens provides nearly double the capacity of a standard single-deck shaker.
